OH Please
So a newbie asked a very good "newbie" question!!! Please stop harrasing new
users.  This is exactly what Microsoft wants you to do so newbies don't
start using Linux.  Earth to Linuxuser I recently read that over 50 percent
of new Linux users have no UNIX or Linux experience.... Gee I am very lucky
to have a UNIX background.  If I did not have a UNIX background I would be
asking the same question!
